00:00Is it a mid-off for the starting quarterback position of the

00:07Pittsburgh Steelers between Russell Wilson and Justin

00:11Fields? If you have questions about Pittsburgh's offense

00:14under new OC Arthur Smith with whatever quarterback takes the

00:18reins, you still have those questions very much unanswered

00:21after Saturday. Buffalo wins outright as a four and a half

00:25point underdog. Nine to three. No Josh Allen for the Bills.

00:30Thirty-six and a half the total. It stays well under. Why?

00:34Because the Steelers despite getting ten combined drives out

00:38of both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields only put up three

00:42points. That it's a look. I understand it's preseason and

00:46you don't wanna panic but let's be honest with ourselves. The

00:48Buffalo Bills came to town with Mitchell Trubisky and Ben

00:52DiNucci and you have a starting quarterback battle with Justin

00:55Fields who's a first round draft pick and Russell Wilson

00:57was probably headed to the Hall of Fame when it's all said and

01:00done. The Pittsburgh Steelers were three points in that game

01:03which keeping the starters out there for extended periods of

01:05time to make sure that both of those quarterbacks have an equal

01:08opportunity to start on opening day. The one thing that we saw

01:11at a Justin Field excuse me out of Russell Wilson was that same

01:16not I wanna say undecisive in the pocket. He just doesn't look

01:19like the Russell Wilson we're used to seeing here.

01:21Understandably, a lot of short dump offs and check downs. You

01:25see the completions. Oh, he was eight of ten. Well, when it's

01:27third and sixteen and you dump it to the running back for nine

01:30yards, that doesn't do anything for your football team. That's

01:32consistently what was happening and Justin Fields, eleven of

01:35seventeen for ninety-two yards, more electric with his legs. So,

01:38when I watch these games and say, well, I don't know if

01:41Justin Fields can pass all that well but at least it looks like

01:43the offense might have a chance to move once Fields gets out of

01:46the pocket. I don't get those same notions from Russell

01:48Wilson and I can't wait to see what you're getting from

01:51Mike Tomlin this week because he has told you from day one.

01:54It's almost like I don't care what Russell Wilson looks like

01:57good or bad. I don't care what Justin Fields looks like good

02:00or bad. Russell Wilson is this team's starting quarterback and

02:03for a game that you probably should have put up twenty-eight

02:05plus points and really shown out because these two quarterbacks

02:09are fighting with each other. They scored three points against

02:12the backup on the Buffalo Bills. The Bills look like the

02:14better team all the way through. That's a complete embarrassment

02:17here for the Steelers. Once again, it's preseason. I get it

02:20but that was a game you were supposed to have a little bit

02:22of a showcase between those two guys and you got nothing.
